There have been a lof of arguments lately (actually one) within this thread about a specific post. I am here to attempt to teach those of you who are unfamiliar with what the post represents.
Posts that show narratives, or "scenes" are merely that. A random government, let's call them Governia can not see the narratives of Federalia. No matter how pertinant to Governia they are they are not for Governia's knowledge therefore if one is made no matter how blatantly against Governia-Federalia policy and relations it is, it shouldn't actually effect anything because it shouldn't ACTUALLY be seen by the other nation.
EXAMPLE POST
__________________________________________________
__
"Samurai Zang, what say you of the Federalia soldiers?" asked Ping Pong, secretary of state for the Governia Republic.
"Samurai Zang no like Governia, me think they are stupid fat and homosexual they must be destroyed immedeatley." replied the large and down symdrome effected Zang.
"I agree you fat bastard, I hate them as well, perhaps it is time to make propoganda and give it to the president, who will in turn effect the Senate, yes, I think that is a good idea."
"Ha ha ha ha ha death to Federalia!" said Zang
__________________________________________________
__
Now, in this example let us assume Governia and Federalia are allied nations who have never been to war and have been allied for centuries. Using this situation as a backdrop Federalia should be mighty pissed off about this, however its ridiculous to assume that Federalia's government would know that these things occured.
There are two types of posts; (1) Information posts and (2) Narrative posts. Information posts are presented in a straightforward manner and usually include some type of media (Newspapers, press releases, radio broadcasts, news broadcasts or transcripts of court procedings or government meetings), these posts are international record and are open to every nation to read and react to (With the exception of incidents in which certain nations are "banned" from reading this, ie a list of nations is included in who "gets to see it" . Narrative posts, as discussed above include scenes as would appear in a movie or play, and simple retellings of stories or events that transpired in the game. These posts are not seen by the world, only the characters involved in the scene, therefore incidents that occur within the scene unless they are an incident of international occurance of some sort (A city being taken or leader being killed for instance) should be not be reacted to by other nations.
Thank you for reading, I hope this helped.

“DEMOCRACY!!!! You have to be kidding!?!!?”
“No General that’s correct I am giving you 10 years to prepare for the switch, our people demand freedom and that is what they will get.”
“Sir I beg you to reconsider, Democracy will make us weak.”
“No Democracy will make us strong, it is the next obvious step.”
“You better be right about this sir because if your not the people will come crying for a strong government and I will be there to answer there cries.”
“If you say so General…. Now what do the rest of you have to report.”
“Well Comrade, we are on friendly terms with all of our neighbors, the Israeli are emerging as our new neighbors in North America and the Mongols our as hospitable as ever in Asia and the Australians are as always a friendly people in the Pacific. The only issue to arise lately has been the Israeli warning of a Zulu offensive against China… but that we believe is no more than propaganda.”
“I agree with that much, thank you very much. Domestics….”
“Comrade we now are second in production manufactured product however we are smallest in population not to mention we will need new temples and marketplaces if we plan to switch to Democracy. Our mining and irrigation projects are proceeding slowly due to the difficult terrain and the new problem of pollution that is cropping up everywhere.”
“Thank you, I will see what I can do about the pollution problem as for the rest of you prepare for the switch to democracy there is a lot that needs to be done in the ten years ahead.”

Saul was discussing the issues with the Dame.
They talked about Paul's total obsession with the bomb and feared that a self-fulfilling prophecy was to occur.
Paul was not engaging in international affairs which probably suited Australia.
"But he asked me to take over foreign affairs for the time being and keep a close eye on 'events'. He's having 'fun' in Broken Hill, even reminiscing the days of the Academy, the fun he had with the Adriatics... the good old days... he's lost. Even the old AL think about the past like we were mates or something!"
Dame said, " You realise, you Saul are destined to take over Australia and lead the race for the stars?"
"I know"
"I see it. It will happen... I'm rarely wrong you know "
"I know"
"But will Paul make the bomb and cause havoc?"
"Maybe, I see a bomb exploding in Broken Hill and I see an 'accident' involving Paul... the rest is hazy. But if this heralds the demise of Paul your plans, your peaceful plans will prevail"
"But if Paul outwits me the world is cactus, eh?"
"something like that... come here my dear.... mmmmm"
The Dame was an 'interesting' women.... no one suspected here old 'Israeli' roots were a problem.....

Lana Aguilera: It was with great fanfare that the EU Parliament has finally named Berlin of all cities as its home. Amsterdam was believed to be a top namesake for the new capital however political maneuvering from the city's people resulted in the change of venue for our capital...
Citizen 1: I didn't want our city to be the capital, we Dutch are known for our individualism and holding the Union's capital would be against, ya know, what it means to be Dutch.
Citizen 2: You watched on TV what happened in Venice when Israel attacked us and you couldn't help but think about what could happen, like, if the capital was in Amsterdam.
Lana Aguilera: This changes many things as now Berlin is home to the European Union's capital, Prime Minister Pagniacci had this to say...
E. Pagniacci: Although Berlin wasn't originally slated to hold our capital it has suited us well thus far, and I hope it will continue to do so. Its in a very centralized location as far as Europe is concerned is is quite far from all of our borders which makes it that much safer.
Lana Aguilera: In other news FDP troops have finally left their posts in Europe and are headed home. New Eurokorps volunteers are marching into their respective cities to reestablish control and links with the new European goverment. The first of these cities was Caspiari...
Soldier: Its been tough, I was stationed in Moscow for the Mongolian offensive, but ya know, this is much better for now than getting shot at by a bunch of chinks.
Citizen: It has been such a relief, I mean, yeah things are going to be tough on us now that our city was shelled and blown up, but I think things will be good, ya know, in the future.
Lana Aguilera: Peace talks between Zulu Federation and FDP stalled as Zulu Chairwoman Jula Kamma refused to accept a full peace treaty with the FDP based on their past actions against the Adriatic League, Mali and the Zulu Federation. We have in-house political analist Caesar Vargas, Caesar what do you make of this latest turn of events.
Caesar Vargas: Well Lana, it makes it quite difficult for the new government to maneuver here. On one hand they have made no secret about attempting to reunite the West, at least in simple peace but have made little to no progress in that direction. It makes it difficult to keep peace at an optimum with Israel while attempting to placate their loyal allies the Zulus. Its almost like they are being torn between two worlds here.
Lana Aguilera: What is the word from Berlin? Should we expect any formalization in regards to a Western pact?
Caesar Vargas: Well not anything in particular, obviously there are grumblings from those in the know. There were talks that the Zulus may accept a trade pact but then again its still early to tell, the peace treaty was just realised recently.
Lana Aguilera: And what of the brewing tensions in Mongolia?
Caesar Vargas: Well the Mongols have not let down on their assaults and despite allegations that they are engaged in a war of aggression they continue. Australia has also recognized that mere aggression is the entire meaning for this war and continue to support the Mongols. Keating has changed his tune from peace to this in recent years.
Lana Aguilera: Thank you Caesar, we are out of time. When we return from the break Giacomo Bartelucci previews "The Corsican" a movie based on the life and times of Napoleon Bonaparte...
